Note 1 Series of philological studies on Greek and Latin classical authors divided into 8 'books'. In the title-page is also announced De ratione emendandi Graecos auctores, which, however, is formally presented as a separate book (see following no.).
Note 2 The 1571-publication is presented as an enlarged third edition, and indeed a first edition consisting of 4 books was published at Basel by Joannes Oporinus in 1564, and a second, enlarged with 3 new books, by the same publisher at Basel in 1566 (a copy in Museum Plantin-Moretus, B 2412). Plantin's edition is a reprint with minor changes of the seven books of Oporinus's 1566-publication with the addition of an eighth book. Have also been retaken from the 1566-edition the second dedicatory by Canterus to Sigonius and Canterus's foreword to the reader. New are the first dedicatory to Sigonius, Sigonius's congratulations to Canterus, and the poem of Nicolaus Stopius. On the other hand have been dropped in Plantin's edition a Greek 6 lines-poem (in the beginning) and a 'Sapphicum carmen' by Canterus in honour of his brother Theodorus (at the end).
Note 3 In July 1571 the publication was already finished as Plantin then mailed a copy to Cardinal Granvelle (Corr., II, nos. 279 and 301).
Note 4 Listed in M 296, folio 3r (Canteri Guill.mi novȩ lectiones in 8⁰, f[euilles] 38, [price:] stuivers 7), and folio 7v (Guill. Canteri novȩ lectiones, 8⁰, f[euilles] 38, [price:] stuivers 7), and M 164, folios 6r and 14r. The number of quires given is puzzling as the Novae lectiones contains only 30½ quires and the De ratione emendandi Graecos auctores, 4, together 34½. Very likely the broadside Deorum et hominum illustrium progenies (see no. cp011040) was included into the count as 3½ quires.
